A bit of a silly error on the combo, but otherwise a good skate.

68.35 = 4th Place

Tonia hasn’t been watching skating in the last few years. ‘Almost like a cartwheel coming out of that spin’

Just wait.

 

[kemc]

Oh, bummer. A guy who skates to Beethoven deserves better.

Agreed. And he actually used the music.

 

[peibeck]

Guarino Sabate isn't giving me the soul this gospel music finish requires. Sorry.

 

[Sally1214]

Is that our first cartwheel?

Just wait.

she's been shocked by basically every jumping pass too she is truly experiencing this competition in a completely different way from the rest of us

Healthy snacks? While watching Worlds?

I was going to watch this on my phone during my commute, but CBC Gem will only let you watch on mobile if you download their app. Well, fcuk you, CBC, I'm going to follow along here. Do your thing, FSU!

Have you tried the Radio-Canada stream? Goldberg is calmer and less loud today.

 

[kemc]

Audience really into these first two groups

 

[tony]

Demirboga has been spending a lot of time training with Tutberidze’s team.

His skating really hasn’t ever gone to the next level, but he did come close to snagging the final Olympic spot finishing just behind Sadovsky in 2022.

 

[Karen-W]

she's been shocked by basically every jumping pass too she is truly experiencing this competition in a completely different way from the rest of us

I sort of appreciate it. She's very knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the sport but the fresh eyes on so many of these skaters and their programs makes it interesting.

yesss give us that half-hearted body roll

 

[airgelaal]

I got this feeling, yeah, you know

Yeah, I know...

 

[overedge]

Whee! It works! Merci, Desperado!!

 

[Karen-W]

yesss give us that half-hearted body roll

That wouldn't cut it if he was a pre-pubescent Russian girl in that training camp. Just sayin' - those whole-hearted body rolls burn those extra calories you had from your strawberry dessert.

 

[peibeck]

Demirboga doesn't have the presence on ice to pull of this disco mix. The outfit is cool, but so restrictive and stiff.

I feel like Burak always has one issue in the program - just can't quite seal the deal on a clean program.

68.16 = 6th Place

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Thé music in the arena is not very loud. It’s so odd with all the emo covers.

 

[Sally1214]

Burak's music had me dancing in my chair throughout the entire program. Too bad he finished behind it. Oh well, I still had fun. And, I think he did too.

 

[peibeck]

Peacock's sound reverts to "tap dancing" again today, I see.

 

[Frau Muller]

Donovan leads …after 10 16 skaters. Yay!!!

 

[TAHbKA]

Gooooooooooo Economides! My favourite SP of the season. If he delivers

 

[airgelaal]

We will see the first Q only after this group. Am I right?

 

[tony]

We will see the first Q only after this group. Am I right?

No, starting with next group (well you said after, so maybe that’s what you meant )

 

[skipaway]

Luc’s costume proves Adam gets all the $ from the French Federation

I was wondering about that! A 1930s Dance Party!

 

[Sally1214]

Oh goody, Luc Economides is in this group. I remember I really liked him a lot earlier in the season.

 

[peibeck]

We will see the first Q only after this group. Am I right?

After the first skater of the next group, I think. After this group there are 24 still to skate.
